Liam Boyce’s hat-trick gave Ross County a 3-2 win over Inverness Caledonian Thistle in a thrilling Highland derby.
Boyce netted twice in the first half and once after the break and despite Scott Boden and Ross Draper replying for Inverness, the Staggies held on to claim their first three points of the season.
Meanwhile, Kilmarnock stirred themselves to come from behind and beat Hamilton 2-1 in their clash at the SuperSeal Stadium.
Accies midfielder Louis Longridge opened the scoring in the 26th minute of a quiet first half that was edged by the home side.
Kilmarnock showed little improvement after the break and the game appeared to be drifting to a Hamilton win. However, striker Kris Boyd levelled with a header in the 70th minute, before substitute Souleymane Coulibaly scored the winner three minutes later with a fine strike.
Aberdeen and Hearts are still searching for their first win of the season after a goalless draw at Pittodrie.
Elsewhere, Steven MacLean capitalised on some poor goalkeeping from Craig Samson to earn St Johnstone a 2-1 victory over Motherwell at Fir Park.
Motherwell midfielder Chris Cadden netted the opener from close range two minutes after the interval but Danny Swanson scored a fine solo equaliser within nine minutes.
And St Johnstone sealed their second comeback victory in four days when MacLean nodded home after Samson had palmed out Chris Kane's strike from almost 25 yards.
Earlier on Saturday, Rangers beat Dundee 2-1 at Dens Park, handing manager Mark Warburton his first win in top-flight Scottish football.
Harry Forrester and Kenny Miller put Rangers two-up at half-time before a Mark O'Hara's late consolation for the home side.
